TUC Survey exposing the reality of racism faced by Black Workers



The TUC is launching an online survey to expose the everyday reality of racism faced by many Black workers.  This is the first time that a survey of this kind has been carried out across the trade union movement and we want to get a large response. 
The trade union movement is committed to eradicating racism in the workplace. However, for many workers experiencing racism at work is part of their everyday life. This may take the form of racial harassment from a manager colleague, customer, or client and can result in being denied access to promotion or training.
Please can you:
  • Put our banner promoting the survey on your website (banner attached please forward to your web team with the following survey link http://bit.ly/racismatwork )
  • Promote through Black workers committee and other committees
  • Send information on the survey to branches
  • Promote through trade union newsletters, magazines etc.

We are asking non-unionised as well as unionised workers to complete the survey. The information provided will be treated in confidence and the survey can be completed anonymously.
We are also keen to hear from anyone who has witnessed any form of racial harassment or discrimination.
If you have any questions please contact Wilf Sullivan wsullivan@tuc.org.uk  or Natasha Owusu nowusu@tuc.org.uk
Please circulate and complete this short survey on Racism at Work http://bit.ly/racismatwork
Thank you for your support.
